Answer:the total amount of income J.D. recognizes related to Clampett, Incorporated, in 2021 =$5,000

But Capital gain = Basis distribution -( Basis stock + Ordinary income)
Capital gain = $50,000 - ($45,000 +$10,000)
Capital gain = $50,000 - $55,000
Capital gain = = - $5,000
Therefore J.D. income related to Clampett = Ordinary income + Capital gain =$10,000 +(- $5,000)
=$10,000 - $5,000
=$5,000
